From next week, we participate in the most important industry exhibitions in the Netherlands, Poland, and the UK.
Check the calendar (under the text about perennials) and we hope to see you there!
Perennials in our surroundings have been present for centuries…
They are traditional for English-style gardens, as well as the Far East, China, and Japan, which assume that the basis of a garden is the natural beauty of plants that are constantly changing in time and space.
We are happy to observe the intense trend of returning to nature and the increasing popularity of perennials. We can see them in home gardens, on squares, under trees, along sidewalks and streets, as “slowdowns” on streets where children play, on roundabouts, in palace gardens, and at (and on) modern office buildings.
Everywhere perennials add color, movement, life, and smell, affect all our senses. They attract insects, stimulating the imagination of adults and children and encouraging them to learn about native fauna (especially entomology). They improve biodiversity… and much more.
A wide selection of species and varieties means that we can choose them for all conditions. Both for shaded places, such as Anemone, Astilbe, Bergenia, Brunnera, Hosta, Luzula, Tiarella, and for sunny places, such as Aster, Echinacea, Gaura, Geranium, Heuchera, Salvia, Veronica … Let us only mention a few possibilities.
High or low on the ground, flowing down in picturesque cascades from low walls or filling the space between the stones of rock gardens. All color combinations are possible – subdued or contrasting.
Different flowering times allow you to create compositions that are attractive from early spring to the end of summer, and even in winter (e.g. grasses or plants with interesting seed heads that become a natural work of art when they die).
Perennials look great when planted together, in large groups, in a cluster of perennials themselves, but also as a complement to beds with deciduous and coniferous shrubs, heathers, and rhododendrons.
The possibilities depend on the fantasy, needs, and requirements of the plants themselves.
If you have questions about the perennials and other plants we offer or the terms of purchase, please do not hesitate to contact us. We are happy to advise you and answer your questions.

FAQ:
How should I make my order?
Complete the “order” column in the attached Excel file and send it to info@hoogenraadplant.nl. Do not change the content of the file, just enter the number of plants ordered. In the email, provide the company name, contact details, and the expected date of receipt of the order – this will help us plan work in the nursery.
When will my order be confirmed?
Every order we receive is confirmed within 48 hours (working days). If during this time you do not receive an email from us, check your “spam” and “offers” or call us.
When can I pick up my order?
We adjust the dates of orders to meet your needs, so report the date of the planned collection 2 weeks in advance (February-April – 3 weeks in advance). This will facilitate the timely, efficient, and correct preparation of plants and their careful packaging.
Pickup of orders is possible from 12 September 2022 till 12 May 2023.
I’m a new customer, when do I have to pay?
We accept cash payments, credit cards, and bank transfers to our bank account based on a pro forma invoice before picking up your order. Pre-payment includes 100% of the order value. After making the payment, please send us confirmation of the transfer because it accelerates the preparation of the plants for pickup.
